Day 3...

This morning we started out the day with a quick breakfast. Then got dressed in our gear & headed off to the pond for our firstgame. We played BA Sports... It's in the bar. ( A play on EA Sports video games ). After some close chances ( Ian kept shooting over the two inch goal ) we finally put some pucks in. We jumped on them early, but found ourselves up only one heading into the half 6-5. After some strategy & a pep talk we finished off the game on a 7-1 run that added up to a 13-6 win for the Monkeys/Loggers.

Game 1 Monkeys/Loggers vs. BA Sports

After our thrilling game 1 victory we headed home for a lite lunch by Glow. Then we killed off a hour before heading back to the rink to play our second game. Last year we didn't do well our second game of the day & today wasn't any different. We played the Dutch Mafia & it took a while for things to start. We finally jumped on the board & built a couple goal lead. Then the other team awoke & started piling in the shots. When the game ended the Mafia had won 7-6. Their defensemen/goalie was unbelievable. He stopped some quality shots we put on net. It was a disappointing loss. We even had our sponsors out ( Eagle Waters Resorts - Link on this page ), but they was happy with our performance even though we weren't.

Only thing that kept us in a great mood was the fact that Lord Stanley's Cup was in a tent next to the lake. So we stood in line to get a chance to have our pictures taken with the Cup. To give people a idea on why there was a giant line to get a picture with a cup is this...

This is the trophy awarded to the winner of the NHL playoffs. Many men have played years for a chance to hoist the cup. The history of the guys that have lifted it, & a large amount of players that haven't, made this chance a once in a lifetime opportunity. So we got this picture taken...

I have slacked, I haven't been as camera happy this year. But others are making up for it. I just can't get into their pictures right now.

Once we had our pictures taken with the Cup, we headed home. A nice HOT shower & a great dinner ( Prime Rib ) & we are ready for a nap. Thats where we are right now. I'm headed back to the cabin to lie down for a bit then its back to the bar for some activities. They have some contests planned & yours truly is entering a "Nicest Legs" contest. Wish me luck!! I'll let everyone know what happens tomorrow!! Our first game tomorrow is at 11:30 a.m. GO MONKEYS!!
